Codename: Archstation 1.5

[twilit marlin]

This is my updated bedroom battle station.
The monitor is a Gigabyte Aorus FO48U
The cooling system has been upgraded considerably, the stock heatsink was switched out for a ID-Cooling IS-40-XT, and the VRM heatsinks were taken from an old LGA-1150 motherboard.

System Specs:
Asrock BC-250 Crypto mining blade
16GB GDDR6 RAM
6x AMD Zen 2 cores @ ~3.5GHz.
24 RDNA 1.5 Compute Units @ 2.2GHz
Cooler master V650 80+ Gold PSU
Xbox Series X controller
Arch Linux (With Bazzite kernel)

Looks epic

What fps u getting?

[twilit marlin]

Depends on the game.
Any games in particular?.
I'm not opposed to run a few benchmarks

[potent bough]

Eh just general

My setup is kinda trash yet i get decent fps

Love the fact that u got the heatsinks from an 1150 mobo

Hell im running that as my main and my backup

[twilit marlin]

In games like The Finals, I get around 60fps on low.
Arc Raiders, I can usually push for 60+

[twilit marlin]

I was too impatient to order proper ones

[potent bough]

For 6cores thats niiice

[potent bough]

Fr eh?

We cant wait

Just homebrew smth up 🤣

I taped my case fan into place till i got a new one with proper mounting holes

💀

[twilit marlin]

Remember, that is with the 16GB RAM being shared between the CPU and GPU

[potent bough]

Oof ye

Kinda like integrated graphics

[twilit marlin]

Also, it is GDDR6 for both, which has massive latency penalties

[potent bough]

🥀

[twilit marlin]

It is literally just a fat fucking APU

[potent bough]

Still better than damn ddr3 tho eh?

[twilit marlin]

Do you know what CL your RAM has?

[potent bough]

Should be a simple google

[twilit marlin]

This thing has CL100

[potent bough]

Either cl 9 or 11

For me

Its Kingston Hyperx Genesis 4gb 1600 mhz pc3 12800

X4

[twilit marlin]

Something really cool is the fact that it has a 256 bit memory bus, even for the CPU

[potent bough]

Damn rly

[twilit marlin]

Unfortunately, I can't benchmark games like Call of Duty, Fortnite and Valorant

[potent bough]

🥀

I dont play those anyways lol

I only do one...Asphalt Legends

[twilit marlin]

It would require me to install windows, which would kill the performance

[potent bough]

Yea 11 sucks

[twilit marlin]

Oh no, that's not why

There are no GPU drivers for windows, AT ALL

[potent bough]

Oh that yea

[twilit marlin]

you have to run Linux if you want to use the GPU

[potent bough]

I remeber reading about these crypto computers on toms hardware

Forgot about that fr

[potent bough]

Then again...linux for the win ;)

But im still on Win 10 actually

Heard of the Win 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC?

[twilit marlin]

Absolutely

[potent bough]

Welp that mf was so good i put it on my bros pc

I uninstalled Edge LMAOO

Never done that before

[twilit marlin]

Seeing as Asphalt Legends is F2P... Want me to bench it on this bad boy?

[potent bough]

Itd be interesting to compare

I get 60 fps solid, probably higher on maxed ultra settings

(No gaming monitor)

🥀

And im on intel fucking 4th gen btw

[twilit marlin]

I still have that LGA 1150 board.
It works, even without the VRM heatsinks

[potent bough]

Damn good to know

[twilit marlin]

I actually used it as my backup system, when I was fixing my main rig

Good ol' 1150 still has some kick in it

@potent bough If you want to try a fun game, try Megabonk

Runs on a damn potato

At least until the late game

Also, Ultrakill.
If the audio breaks and it starts stuttering like crazy, you are playing it right

[twilit marlin]

I get around 60fps too.
Maxed settings at 1440

Fun fact, you can push over your monitor's refresh rate for faster response

Reminds me to install heroic, so I can get all my Epic and GOG games

[misty swan]

truth nuke

[twilit marlin]

[lost yew]

joining the channel requires me to send a message

for me to join it forever i have to send a message every while

[twilit marlin]

OK, update.
I've gotten the CPU stable on 4.0GHz, I'll try to push it a bit harder tomorrow

[potent bough]

💀

damn niice!

my cpu for some reason was crashing the OS and apps for seemingly no reason

.................until i undervolted it by 0.010v

now it works fine

[twilit marlin]

Oh yeah, elevated voltages can make electronics act super weird

[potent bough]

funny thing was, it was dead ass stock

0_0

[twilit marlin]

Sometimes, old age can do that

[potent bough]

BIOS settings were all on auto and set to defaults

ye...undervolt solved it and no performance penalty either

still runs 3.1ghz +

[lost yew]

everyone keeps telling me to buy ps5

the only ps5 i am going to buy is the one that runs linux

[potent bough]

Fr

[twilit marlin]

I've gotten it stable on 4.0GHz on the CPU, 2200 on GPU

I could push it harder, but I'll need some beefier cooling for the VRM and VRAM first

[potent bough]

niice

[twilit marlin]

Runs hot as fuck tho

[potent bough]

temps?

[twilit marlin]

Approaching 90

[potent bough]

lord

[twilit marlin]

Eh, it is still within safe limits

Absolute max is 105

[lost yew]

.

[twilit marlin]

Dude, I get notifications on this channel.

I keep thinking someone is requesting my help with something

[potent bough]

Ye you dont have to keep pinging the channel mate

I havent and im still here

[twilit marlin]

Better cable management

[twilit marlin]

Replaced my BIOS logo

[lost yew]

ok

[twilit marlin]

@potent bough
Case is being printed now

[potent bough]

W that looks awesome

[twilit marlin]

Front is done

Someone told me that the finished part looks like engine-ish

[potent bough]

It kinda does ....looks tho

[twilit marlin]

I'm printing the second half now, should be ready around this time Tomorrow

[twilit marlin]

Upgraded the cooler

[potent bough]

W

[twilit marlin]

It barely makes a sound now
